The girls are the heart and soul of our program. We have selected them for their excellent character, trainability health, and conformation. Some of our girls are 2nd, 3rd and 4rth generation handler owned, trained and bred by me. Others have been selected from the best breeders around in working lines. They have good, loving maternal instinct and behaviors. They keep their mind on their work and family. They have joyful attitudes and genius level intelligence for dogs. They love to work and be in the home. Stable around any kind of environments I take them in. Strong protective instincts and social with kids and friendly strangers. Very trustworthy and anticipatory to my needs. And a bit of a mischievous demeanor. They bring lots of love, light and joy into my life.
I will not forget what the judge said about Darling at her IPO 1 trial during her critique. "Sometimes she is more Devil then she is Darling, but that is ok, she has a sense of humor!" This girl has a stability of temperament combined with strong drives that is rare. Her steadfastness, strong drives and compliance makes her one of the few dogs that can be trained for both Schutzhund and service dog. Her mischievousness makes her fun on the training field while her attentiveness makes her reliable when I need her for service work. She has proven to pass these qualities on to her pups with several of them doing both Schutzhund and service dog work. She is my 4th generation handler owned, trained and bred bloodline. Her mother was my Schutzhund dog and service dog, and still is my protection dog. I have worked hard to have this bloodline be versatile in a variety of jobs as well as be excellent family protectors.
Darling has passed all her health screenings, performance titles and breed survey with flying colors. She went SG pronounced in her breed survey and is recommended for breeding. She is a nice representative of the breed and brings many good and sought after qualities in a family dog, family protection dog and service dogs.
This very happy girl loves to learn things, is an excellent, proven mother and is my 4th generation handler owned and bred from my bloodlines. She functions both as my competition dog and service dog. I can take her anywhere off leash and never worry about her gentle antics.
Darling has proven herself on the trial field with good tracking, good obedience and pronounced protection. She never lets me out of sight and is always attentive to my needs. She is both compliant and high drive which is the reason she can function both as my Schutzhund dog and service dog.
Devi is my agile rocket tank. She is both fast, agile and powerful. Her joy in work is contagious! Even tho she can become a rocket during agility she is calm and methodical during tracking. She is very attentive to me yet has no problem telling me where the track is or when I am wrong in something. We will be posting her protection routine using a soft sleeve rather then the hard trial sleeve under videos. Unfortunate due to a crate accident that caused damage to her teeth we will not trial her in protection. We will earn FH (tracking) and obedience titles both in Schutzhund and AKC and maybe some agility titles as well.
Devi has correct, excellent conformation and type with large bone. She has a very nice head for a bitch. It's not very often you get a GSD who is so agile, fast AND physically powerful. She is very resilient and has passed all of her health testing with excellent ratings. And she passes this nice structure, head and fun temperament on to her pups.
She is such an exuberant girl that at times I have to pull out my drill sergeant voice to get her attention. She loves to learn and shows it! And talk about a cuddle bug! We have to warn people when they want to pet her she is "aggressive" in her affection. She climbs in laps and covers people with kisses. I am pleased to say this happiness comes through in her pups.
Devi is quite capable of turning her happy bitch attitude to serious bitch attitude when the situation warrants. She has a strong sense of territory and will go through anything in order to repel intruders. She has the clarity of mind to allow a cop to intervene and not too many dogs can do that. This loyalty and protectiveness already shows in some of her pups and we look forward to titling them.
Munchkin is one of the happiest dogs, willing to please and ready for anything! She's a very talkative girl. She is one of our best young females on the sleeve. We hope to get cracking on titling with this amazing girl soon. Keep a watch out for what this girl will do.
Munchkin not only is she great on the sleeve she is also a cuddle bug. when she is in the bedroom at night to sleep with us she always has to have something touching her people. her head, back or feet are touching us at night. not everyone likes a snuggly dog but man that is her and we love that! She is also hilarious! the thing we constantly laugh at is her drinking water as she dunks her whole head into the bucket. she also likes to take a relaxing swim in the pond which she must share all the water with her people! She is such a funny dog that just keeps us laughing everyday.
excuse the lack of description as we slowly update the website.
Aslo excuse the photo as we get more professional photos made of our younger dogs
Nexus was taken on by our apprentice Kathy and she truly fell in love with her!
This girl really does everything Kathy as tried with her. She is the most caring service dog and will task for anyone in need. She has her 3 trick dog titles, her home manners and fast cat titles! She has tried dock diving and hopefully will compete soon. She got the hang of coursing ability tests end of May 2022 and we will be going for trials to get her first coursing ability title as these trials are far apart in availability. She would have had it sooner if she wasn't concerned about Kathy and going back to her. There's a service dog for you with caring about their handler. Kathy was having to hide behind the judge so Nexus would run the course. She is a true gem and such a happy girl! We have even seen her task for other family, friends and even strangers in need. Nexus has her home manners(VHMA) title thru AKC and she has some fun trick titles(TKN, TKI, and TKA). Nexus has her Farm dog certification (FDC) meaning she isn't phased by farm equipment or reactive towards farm animals. She has passed her CGCA and CGCU with flying colors and even took the test with other service dogs. These titles stand for canine good citizen, canine good citizen urban and canine good citizen advanced. These CGC titles/tests are great proofing for her soon to be BH trial. She is such a versatile dog which is what we strive to breed for and we are glad she was added to our program!
Nexus is super easy to live with in the home and has great listening skills. She is easy to travel with and very trustworthy in her crate to not destroy anything and doesn't grab things to pull into her crate to destroy either. She lives with other GSDs and she lives with small shetland sheepdogs aka shelties. She is very gentle with everyone and everything. I have had many people that dont like GSDs or scared of them meet her and she wins them all over. She is very respectful and empathetic which everyone notices and loves about her.
Ripper is a fun live wire of a dog. She has her TKI which is a second trick title available thru AKC. also has VHMA which is for home manners also thru AKC. She is definitely excited to start her schutzhund career and even started to say words for the sleeve. We are so pleased with her fast progress and her desire. She also has her CGCA and CGCU titles that are a step up from CGC. CGC stands for canine good citizen. CGCU stands for canine good citizen urban and CGCA stands for canine good citizen community which she passed with flying colors. These tests are a great lead up to her BH! We also have plans for other venues to title keep checking back for updates on this young rising star.
This girl has the most motherly instinct. She has been helping greatly with raising puppies. Now at 2 year old has now been around neonate puppies for the first time(not her puppies). She has been wanting to be involved since they were born and even lifts her leg while laying down to have pups nurse with no milk of her own. She has been very gentle with the puppies and helps with cleaning and stimulating the puppies. We think she will be the best mother one day when she has her chance.
Excuse the photo as we get more professional photos made of our younger dogs thank you!
She will be an amazing versatile dog! Gucci is out of Devi and Nitro. She has her novice trick dog and the first of our dogs to get virtual home manners puppy! We usually just get the virtual home manners adults on our dogs but Kathy is title hungry and this title displays separate on the registered name then the adult replacing it so we are excited to get both of these virtual titles of our young dogs. The adult manners is the next one we want to work on when we have time to film. We are also excited to try dock diving with this girl since she absolutely loves the water. She will make a good career doing schutzhund too we hope. Also we plan many other titles with this special girl.
We will post OFAs once she is old enough for them.
Like I said elsewhere I am behind on rebuilding and updating my site. Any questions feel free to give me a phone call.
